As of today, when I try to use the rayshader package in R, trying to load it crashes my R session without fail. At first I thought it might be due to some conflict I had already loaded, but even if I first load in the rayshader package, R encounters a fatal error before it finishes loading. This is using the most up-to-date version of the tech preview environment. (2022-01)

I can't reproduce this problem. I tried using two different accounts, on login and compute nodes, in rstudio and in the terminal. It works as expected everywhere I've tried it.

Interestingly, I also no longer have any issues. The package seems to work when I attach it in any case. However, I am certain that it was a persistent, recurring issue that without fail, which happened over multiple days over many different sessions. I also re-tested it by attaching the same packages I had when I first encountered this issue, and it works without a problem.

OK thanks for checking! I'm going to close this for now, please re-open if it happens again.
